Liu Mingzhi was stunned when he folded the letter, and looked thoughtfully at Wen Renzheng opposite, who was bowing his head and sipping tea.
"Old man, there is something in your words!"
Wen Renzheng played with the tea cup and glanced at Young Master Liu quietly: "Oh? Is there something in the old man's words, or is your kid's state of mind already very different from before?"
"Although I am old, my memory has not deteriorated. In the past, you kid would not have thought about this issue carefully."
"It seems that the old man has lost his sight. It turns out that Liu Mingzhi in the past was not only skilled in the palace, but also in the power of strategy."
Liu Mingzhi was silent. After a long time, Liu Mingzhi slowly stood up, walked outside the pavilion, grabbed a handful of the remaining snow, and held it in his hand.
After a while, the snow turned into slush and slipped quietly between Liu Mingzhi's hands.
Liu Mingzhi stretched out his hand and looked at the remaining water stains in his hand, then turned to look at Wen Renzheng: "Old man, I have never changed, at least my identity as a lonely minister has never changed."
"The kid just wants to be more successful in protecting himself. He will not suffer retaliation after he retires. I think there is nothing wrong in doing so."
"Old man, you are my senior. You have encountered ten or even a hundred times more things than me."
"Above the big rivers and lakes in the Chaotang, although there are no swords and swords and shadows in the small rivers and lakes, it is far more terrifying than the swords and swords and shadows in the small rivers and lakes."
"Although there are no swords and swords in the world, it is full of intrigues and bickering."
“If you smile at each other in the morning, you may look away with anger in the afternoon.”
"Compared to the small rivers and lakes where the swords see blood and the swords penetrate the flesh, the big rivers and lakes where people kill people without seeing blood and talk sweetly and use swords to make the kid more in awe."
"Small rivers and lakes still have true loyalty, but big rivers and lakes never have any warmth or warmth."
"Sometimes I feel pity for those students who failed the exam, and sometimes I feel happy for them."
“Once you’ve entered the world, it’s difficult to get out.”
Wen Renzheng poured a cup of tea on his own and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a complicated expression: "Boy, you have such doubts because you are too young."
"If you were about ten years older, you would realize how realistic this world is."
"You have this idea partly because of yourself, and partly because of Yanhe."
"Yan He has shown great kindness to you. At such a young age, you are one of the respected Dukes of the country."
"However, your age makes Yan He, the emperor, afraid of you. Although the prince has been in front of you for a long time, the emperor's art cannot be seen, let alone learned. If you want to master the emperor's art, you must first rely on it. You have to figure it out yourself.”
"But what is missing in the art of understanding the emperor is time."
"Your current power of strategy is far superior to His Royal Highness's imperial skills. This is the fundamental reason why Yan He is afraid of you."
“If the king is weak and his ministers are strong, the country will perish.”
"Yanhe is so fond of you that I can't bear to see you, the proud man of heaven, die so young."
"Firstly, you have been a monarch for many years and have already cultivated the relationship between the monarch and his subjects. Secondly, because of the third princess, you are also the half-son of Yanhe in name."
"For so many years, my relationship with you has not been too bad in terms of words and personal feelings."
"Otherwise, this young talent like you, who is barely thirty years old, would not have achieved this feat."
"You are in a complicated mood. Yan He's mood is not necessarily much worse than yours."
"I haven't been in the court for many years, and I'm not speaking for peace. From the perspective of a bystander, I can say something fair."
"As the king of a country, Yan He's move is completely normal. After all, he has to put the country first, just like we, the common people, put their families first."
"Emperors are destined to be lonely and not understood by others."
"If you think about it carefully, in the past dynasties, how many of the proud men of heaven have died on the way, and how many of the proud men of heaven have been able to sit high in the temple and call upon the wind and rain."
"The grandson of the Bai family, the eldest son of the Liu family, the Hubu, the Longwu Guards, the Huben Army, and you yourself are in great power. Think carefully about your current power."
"You can still be content and live your life comfortably. Yan He's imperial aura is so generous."
"Yan He is more tolerant to you than he was to Lao Chen back then."
"Sometimes, don't just look at what's in front of you. Think about it from the other person's perspective, kid."
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment and looked at Wen Renzheng with complicated eyes: "But I have always been loyal to the Li family and my father, and I have never had any second thoughts."
Li Zheng flicked his fingers, and a cup of tea on the table fell steadily into Young Master Liu's hands without spilling any water.
Liu Mingzhi is no longer shocked by Wen Renzheng's superb kung fu. No matter how powerful he is, he has become accustomed to it after seeing it too many times.
Silently looking at the teacup in his hand, he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Wen Renzheng, who was sitting on the stone bench: "Old man, what is this?"
Wen Renzheng held up his teacup and said, "Drink a cup of tea, be quiet, and realize it for yourself." After saying this, he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of the slightly bitter tea with a sweet aftertaste and calmed down to think deeply.
I don't know how long it took before Liu Mingzhi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the tea cup in his hand.
"It is precisely because I am loyal enough that my father did not kill the proud son of heaven whom I, the old man, call me!"
"Great kindness!"
"Boy, if you sit quietly and think about your own mistakes, you will find that this world is actually so simple and unpretentious, and family love is greater than anything else."
"Emperors also have feelings, but emperors have to be ruthless."
"You kid is insatiable!"
Liu Mingzhi sighed silently and walked slowly back towards the pavilion. He claimed to know Li Zheng, but he didn't realize until today that he really knew Li Zheng?
"Boy, let's not talk about this anymore. Do your duty as a courtier. After you have achieved success and retire, you can be safe and sound and spend your remaining years in peace."
"You just talked about the big rivers and lakes and the small rivers and lakes. Now that you have finished talking about the big rivers and lakes, I will chat with you about interesting things about a small river and lake."
Liu Mingzhi gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath and looked at Wen Renzheng with a smile: "Young man, I am all ears, do you want to warm up your wine?"
"good!"
When Liu Mingzhi saw that Wen Renzheng agreed, he was just about to ask his servants to ask Qi Ya to come over to warm the wine and prepare some side dishes. Among the girls, Qi Ya was the one with the best drinking spirit.
Unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth, Wen Renzheng looked at him with complicated eyes, and calmly held his breath while facing his courtyard with his mouth slightly open: "Girl, come here to warm the wine for grandpa!"
It seemed that except for Liu Mingzhi, the servants who were passing by a dozen or so steps away could not hear what Wen Renzheng was saying.
In the blink of an eye, Wenren Yunshu leaped over from the direction of Wenrenzheng's courtyard, wearing a sky-blue woven jacket.
Wenren Yunshu gently kissed Wenrenzheng: "Grandpa, what kind of wine do you want to drink?"
“Drink whatever wine can enter your heart.”
Wenren Yunshu's pretty face was startled, and he glanced at Mr. Liu, who had his nose pressed in anger: "Grandpa!"
"Why, grandpa wants to drink, but you can't even do it?"
Wenren Yunshu shook his head silently: "Shu'er doesn't mean that. Grandpa, wait a moment, Shu'er will come as soon as he goes."
"Boy, if it had been a few years ago, you would have been hanged for ten days and ten nights because of your old temper. Unfortunately, now that you are old... you are old and you have already cultivated your mind and character. Otherwise, you will not die. Gotta peel off the skin.”
"Yes, yes, the old man said yes, I know I was wrong."
Young Master Liu knew what the old man meant, so he had to nod and bow his head to apologize.
I'm used to taking the blame, so it's no different this time or twice.
"My lord, these are the dishes that the eldest lady asked her servant to bring to go with the wine!"
"Okay, put it here!"
The maid put down the four exquisite side dishes and nodded respectfully to the two of them: "My slave, please leave."
"Just put the charcoal fire here!"
"Yes, Miss Yunshu!"
Just as the maid left, Wenren Yunshu walked in with a jar of wine in his arms and two servants. After the servants put down the charcoal basin, they consciously left.
Wen Renzheng put down his tea cup and looked at the wine jar in Wen Ren Yunshu's arms.
"Girl, what kind of wine?"
"The cows and horses are down!"
"Why?"
"Strong liquor can enter the heart!"
